In this blistering sequel to the bestselling cult sensation, John Dies at the End, our heroes find that books and movies about zombies may have triggered a zombie apocalypse, despite a total world absence of zombies. Hilarious, terrifying, engaging and wrenching, this is a wild ride with two slackers from the midwest who really have better things to do with their time than prevent disaster.

Review
"Sure to please the Fangoria set while appealing to a wider audience, the book's smart take on fear manages to tap into readers' existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next." --Publishers Weekly
"If you want a poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, disturbing, ridiculous, self-aware, socially relevant horror novel than This Book is Full of Spiders is the one and only book for you." --sfsignal.com
"A fun, fresh take on horror...Genre fans should definitely seek it out." --horror view
"It s a variation of the zombie myth, but with an incredibly creepy twist." --Following the Nerd
"Seriously dude, touch it and read it." --Huffington Post
"When it's not being creepy, this novel is fun, sarcastic and addictive. Imagine Jay and Silent Bob crossed with The Walking Dead...then add spiders. Which all adds up to scarily good fun! --The Tattooed Book

I rank John Dies at the End (JDATE) as one of my favourite books, but it has flaws. Due to the way that it was written, in parts over time, the story becomes a bit too random and piecemeal. It's as if the author didn't have an end point and was having to stick together interesting story ideas while somehow finding a driving narrative between them.
This second book solves this issue and offers a fully fleshed out, coherent story from start to finish while maintaining the humour that made JDATE such an enjoyable read. On the humour front I have to say that this book isn't quite as funny as JDATE and there are long periods of the book where humour isn't used but this is actually part of some excellent pacing and made the book scarier. Breathless horror sequences and chases are broken up by ridiculous encounters and well placed humour which keeps you turning page after page.
All-in-all an excellent read!
A couple of notes:
If you are new to this series I would recommend reading JDATE first as it is great, but it is not essential. You can read this book as a stand alone and you will not be lost.
My version of the book (paperback version) had a printing error on page 397 where a couple of pages were out of sequence, I am not marking down for this as it may have just been my copy and it didn't affect my enjoyment of the story, but just so you know!

You certainly need to read the first book before this, not because it is essential but because it is equally brilliant.
David Wong is exceptional at combining horror and comedy and still delivering them at 100%. One moment I cried with laughter (well, most pages had me crying with laughter) and others just had me crying. I now check every corner of my room for spiders before sleeping.
I recommend you do the same.

This book.
It's ridiculous.
It's terrifying- seriously after reading 1 chapter, I defy you to ever again hear a noise in the dark and not assume that it's a goliath bird eating spider.
It's hilarious.
It's very, very clever- the basics of it could so easily be true. Reading it, you feel like this could be more than fiction, this could be a foretelling of what is yet to come.
Buy it. Read it. Sleep with the lights on.

An excellent sequel
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Much better than the first, which I also loved. The story is tighter, with a greater sense of threat. Read more

Laugh out loud book of nightmares
I dallied with the idea of getting 'John Dies at the End' first but plumped for this one for its slightly higher user rating and assurance that it didn't matter if you read this... Read more

Awesome read
Awesome book. I read the first one and thought it was a great first up book. The sequel delivered though. Tighter story and writing than John Dies at the End.

Excellent
Having loved John Dies at the End I felt this book shows a real step up in maturity of writing style. All without losing the charm and humour that made the first book what it was.

Another one for my son
What can I say - my son's irreverent humour loved this book. He loves anything a bit edgy so this was just up his street. Highly recommended from a 13 year old!!!
